BRATTLEBORO- Grammy winner Rosanne Cash is known by many as the eldest daughter of legendary country singer Johnny Cash. And like her dad, Cash also crosses musical genres that include country, blues, folk, pop, and rock. But Cash has earned plenty of acclaim worldwide on her own—for her distinctive singing and songwriting. She has a Grammy, 10 Grammy nominations, two gold records, 11 chart-topping singles, and 21 top forty country music singles. Cash’s 2006 release, “Black Cadillac,” was named to the top 10 lists of the New York Times, Billboard, PopMatters, NPR, and others.

Cash’s most recent album, “The List,” became a best seller – and it was based on the list given to her by her dad when she was 18 and preparing to go on the road with him for a concert tour. “The List” consisted of the “100 greatest country and American songs of all time” that Johnny Cash asked Rosanne to learn for the road. The album features 12 of those songs—performed and including vocal duets between Cash and Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Rufus Wainwright, and (on iTunes only) Neko Case.

“When I was 18, I was on the road with my dad,” Cash writes. “One day, we were sitting in the tour bus, talking about songs, and he mentioned a song, and I said, ‘I don’t know that one.’ He mentioned another one, and I said, ‘I don’t know that one, either.’ Then he started to get alarmed, so he spent the rest of the day making a list on a legal pad, and at the top he put ‘100 Essential Country Songs.’ And he handed it to me and he said, ‘This is your education.’”

Audiences and critics often comment on the deeply affecting power and emotion of Cash’s music. Indeed, the New York Times wrote that Rosanne has: “A voice that blends one part heartbreak with two parts true grit. Cash has always had the gift of communicating the emotional texture of life as it’s lived from day to day, in a way that seems natural. The older she grows, the better she gets.”
